Abstract
The behavior of a new charge transfer complex N-hexadecylpyridinium–Cd (dmit) 2 at the air–water interface was investigated. The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films were fabricated from the floating layers with or without arachidic acid (AA) as a matrix. Compared with the pure complex, the 1:1 mixture can form better Y-type films, which was proved by UV-visible spectra and small-angle X-ray diffraction patterns. Conductivities of the LB films were measured using a two-probe method at room temperature. After iodine doping, the maximum conductivities reached 1.6 S cm −1 and 3.1×10 −1 S cm −1 for LB films of the pure complex and 1:1 mixture with AA, respectively. The spectral changes during oxidation of the LB films were also examined.
